Subject: [Tweeters] Hummer behavior question

Tweets - My two resident Hummingbirds, Helen and Henry (named after a lovely
pair of birders I know), constantly seem to be at odds with each other.
Henry spends a large amount of time calling to Helen, trying to engage her
but the minute she comes near the feeder he chases her off. Isn't his
behavior counterproductive? Or, is something else going on that I do not
understand? Thanks for your expert help.

Note: Henry is now, as I type, hovering outside my window looking at me.

P.S. Loved Craig's bird pumpkin!
